Weight of the child generally gets doubled by 5 months of age. Considering birth weight was 3 kg, It appears that weight gain is not adequate .Causes of poor weight gain can be genetic,and other important causes are faulty diet or can be some illness in the body of the child. So it is better to have in person visit of paediatrician and have proper diet chart. If inspite of adequate diet, baby's not gaining weight, then one should investigate and rule out other pathological causes.
